What's Got You in a Bad Mood?

The focus of my earlier blog entry was about the health benefits of Quinoa. So, to stay on topic about health, it seemed fitting to post a link to another article about health that I recently ran into.

This one is from The Huffington Post, and it is about mental health. Specifically, it is about trying to get at the source of your bad mood.

We can all be depressed at times, of course. Some of us are more familiar with that, or with other things that can regularly bring us down and into a bad mood, than others. And sometimes, it feels like everyone is privy to some secret source of happiness that you yourself were excluded from. If you think like that (and I used to think thoughts like that regularly when younger), then it entrenches and reinforces that notion of being excluded, which itself can be a source of misery, of course.

Bad moods can be triggered by a lot of things, of course. Most of the time, they are triggered by external things happening in our lives, even if we do not fully recognize them as stress triggers, or find the link to these and our present bad moods.

Yet, we should not ignore these if we try to diagnose on our own what is wrong, and why we are in the depressed state that we're in.

So, I thought this article would be helpful in identifying the reasons why you might be in a bad mood:
